I Made That! Turbo Blender Oat Pancakes

This week, we're making a recipe with a turbo blender--you know, like a VITAMIX, BlendTec, and Waring X-Treme. And we're making whole-grain pancake batter!

Turbo blenders have powerful motors. The blades spin so fast that they can grind wheat berries and other dry grains into flour in seconds. In fact, we are so taken with these machines that Mark has a class on craftsy about how to make whole-grain desserts from a turbo blender.

In this recipe, we put steel-cut oats and raw wheat berries into the turbo blender, then grind the grains into a flour. We add buttermilk, eggs, and oil to make a whole-grain pancake batter.

Listen in as we cook through this recipe to find out how to use a turbo blender to its full potential. It's not just for smoothies!
